Frank Martino

Read "Frank Martino" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


1. Dawn of Midi, Dysnomia, (Erased Tapes Records, 2015). Il piano trio più particolare che abbia sentito negli ultimi tempi: il disco è un flusso continuo e ossessivo di frasi ripetute ciclicamente e sezioni che si sovrappongono. Difficile definirlo in modo chiaro. Sembra di ascoltare la musica di Jon Hopkins suonata in formazione acustica ...

Jazz in 1's and 0's

Read "Jazz in 1's and 0's" reviewed by Jeff Fitzgerald, Genius

Donny McCaslin Live at BIMHUIS, Amsterdam

Read "Donny McCaslin Live at BIMHUIS, Amsterdam" reviewed by BIMHUIS

Donny McCaslin: Blow

Read "Blow" reviewed by Roger Farbey


At first listen, Blow sounds more like a rock album than a jazz one. The catchy “What About The Body" could arguably be mistaken for one of King Crimson's more vituperative numbers featuring Adrian Belew. Ryan Dahle's emotionally-charged vocals are equally at the forefront of the explosive “Club Kidd." But the selection also includes three instrumental ...
